Hey there !

So I just got 2 new budgies 3 days ago . The breeder said that both are supposed to be around 3-4 months of age . But since day 1 I noticed that one of them a female lutino budgie has this dirty vent compared to my other blue budgie …. But she has been really active for the past 2 days until today… is it just a young budgie problem ?? Yes she just got a shower :) and I have 3 budgies as of now . The 2 new ones seemed to be quite unactive compared to my older budgie..

The dirty vent and lack of energy is concerning. Please make an appointment with an avian vet as soon as possible.

Have you quarantined the two new birds?

I completely agree. Budgie looks very ill.

I think a vet appointment as soon as you can is very important. That bird looks unwell to me :(

@Jingle How is your bird doing and what did the vet say?
Thanks guys for the advices !
i have brought her to the vet and the vet told me that its just probably caused by stress that causes their digestive system to change its flora.. and she told me to give her some antibiotics like doxyxycline and nystatin :) ahh.... I hope she would recover soon , but so far she has been eating well in quarantine
